NEW STADIUM

Want To Testify At Vikings Stadium Hearings? Details Inside

The Minnesota Vikings sent out an e-mail blast today informing Vikings fans how they can get their voices heard. Are you passionate about the Vikings and want to share your thoughts on the new stadium? Read the message below and contact the appropriate individuals. The Vikings desperately need a stadium to be built. They can’t get one built without the vocal support of their fans. Let’s do what it takes to get it done. Let’s keep the Vikings in Minnesota FOREVER! Skol Vikings!

As you are probably aware, the Minnesota Senate announced two public hearings in the coming weeks to discuss a new publicly-owned, multi-purpose stadium for the State and the Vikings. The first of the two joint hearings will be in front of the Senate’s Tax Committee and the Local Government and Elections Committee next Tuesday, November 29, from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. in Room 15 of the State Capitol, while the second hearing will take place one week later.

At the first hearing, the focus will be on stadium background and site-specific information. Representatives from the Vikings, the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission, Ramsey County and Minneapolis will testify. The committees will also allow public testimony from both stadium supporters and opponents.

This is a chance for you to make your voice heard. We encourage you to sign up in advance by contacting Beth Kadoun, Senate Tax Committee administrator, at beth.kadoun@senate.mn or 651.296.5640.
